Audience Reviews for The Eleanor Roosevelt Story

  • Jun 03, 2013
    This Oscar winning documentary profiles the First Lady and humanitarian crusader. While I admit that I learned a lot I never would have known without this film, I nevertheless think this film is merely propaganda. It lauds Roosevelt incessantly, and the few criticisms it levels are quickly tempered. Overall, this feels more like a eulogy than a documentary.
